Why?

In this case, the President of the Republic instructs one of the ministers to stand in for the Prime Minister. Usually the President does this on the proposal of the Prime Minister, for no longer than 60 days. If there is no such proposal, the President chooses the minister personally. (Article 97 of the Constitution)
